Protecting Your Furry Family Members: Pet Home Security Tips

As a responsible pet owner, ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry family members is a top priority. Just like you would child-proof your home, it's essential to take steps to pet-proof your living space as well. Here are some expert tips to help you protect your beloved pets. From preventing pet-related accidents to keeping them safe from potential intruders, Frontpoint's security systems have got you covered.

Ways to Secure Your Pets in Your Home

Before delving into advanced security systems, it's essential to pet-proof your home. Dogs and cats are known for their curiosity, so make sure to secure toxic substances, electrical cords, and small objects that they might chew on or ingest. Additionally, use baby gates to block off hazardous areas, and keep trash bins out of their reach. A pet-proof home sets the foundation for a safe environment.

Frontpoint understands that pets are an integral part of many households. That's why their security systems feature pet-friendly motion sensors. These sensors are designed to differentiate between the movement of your furry companions and potential intruders. You won't have to worry about false alarms triggered by your pets' activities, ensuring your security system remains effective.

Frontpoint offers 24/7 professional monitoring, which means that even when you're not at home, someone is always keeping an eye on your property. If an emergency arises, such as a break-in or a fire, the monitoring team will take immediate action and notify the appropriate authorities, ensuring that your pets are safe.

Frontpoint's security systems can be integrated with smart home devices, which can be particularly helpful for pet owners. You can install security cameras to keep an eye on your pets while you're away, and even adjust your thermostat to keep your pets comfortable. These features not only enhance your home's security but also make it more pet-friendly.

Frontpoint offers advanced access control solutions. With smart locks and video doorbells, you can grant access to pet sitters, dog walkers, or family members while maintaining control and visibility over who enters your home. This feature adds an extra layer of security for your pets.

By adding the details of your pets into your account, emergency responders will automatically receive this information in the event of an emergency. While you may not be home or accessible at the time of an emergency, emergency responders may be able to make a rescue and save your pet knowing he/she is inside.

To better protect your fuzzy friends, we recommend to add your pet's information to your account through the mobile app and keep it up-to-date if there are ever any changes. 

To add your pet's info to your account:

1. Open the Frontpoint app.
2. Tap the hamburger menu.
3. Scroll down and select “My Account” from the menu options.
4. Below "Account Info", you'll see a section for "Pets"- tap the pencil icon on the right to edit.
